2) Download files

Get all files form the sources directory on the web site and put them into the linuxSrc directory

3) Unpack OpenFOAM and set up the dot-files

cd ~/OpenFOAM
tar xzf linuxSrc/OpenFOAM-1.3_22_11_05.tgz
cp -r OpenFOAM-1.3/.OpenFOAM-1.3 ~

set up dot files:

put:

source ~/.OpenFOAM-1.3/cshrc

into your .cshrc file.

Do:

source ~/.cshrc


4) Build utilities
4.1) gcc
tar xzf gcc-4.1.1.tgz
mkdir gcc-4.1.1-obj
cd gcc-4.1.1-obj

../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/usr/tmp/gcc-4.1.1 --exec-prefix=/usr/tmp/gcc-4.1.1 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared

gmake bootstrap
gmake
gmake install

cd /usr/tmp/
tar cvzf ~/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.1.1.bin.tgz gcc-4.1.1
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linux
tar xzf gcc-4.1.1.bin.tgz

4.2) gdb

cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf gdb-6.4.tar.gz
cd gdb-6.4
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/gdb-6.4
gmake
gmake install

4.3 cmake

cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf cmake-2.2.3.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.2.3
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/cmake-2.2.3
gmake
gmake install

4.4 dx
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xzf dx-4.3.2-nabla.tgz
cd dx-4.3.2
./configure --prefix=~/OpenFOAM/linux/dx-4.3.2 --enable-shared
gmake
gmake install

4.5 paraview
cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc
tar xvzf paraview-2.4.3.tgz
mkdir paraview-2.4.3-obj
cmake -i ../paraview-2.4.3

Change options:

enable shared library: YES
prefix: ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc/paraview-2.4.3

gmake
gmake install


cd ~/OpenFOAM/linuxSrc

mkdir ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/include
cp ./paraview-2.4.3/VTK/Common/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.3/VTK/Filtering/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.3-obj/VTK/vtk* ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/include/
cp ./paraview-2.4.3-obj/ParaViewConfig.cmake ~/OpenFOAM/linux/paraview-2.4.3/lib/paraview-2.4/ 


5) build OpenFOAM

foam
(this should take you to the ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3 directory)

./Allwmake

This will build foam.

6) check build

source ~/.cshrc
icoFoam

(this should run)
